#604b3ergb(96, 75, 62)hsl(23, 22%, 31%)oklch(0.431 0.035 53.3)Teal, Steel Blue and Champagne lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Teal is a split-complement of #604b3e: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
Steel Blue sits directly opposite #604b3e on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
4 real palettes, including Darkroom and BrandSweets's brand system put Champagne beside #604b3e, as the surface under it.
Designers have shipped Copper with #604b3e: 6 real palettes, including Desert Road and Bakery, as the lead colour.
Designers have shipped Denim with #604b3e: 4 real palettes, including HP's brand system and Hinge's brand system, as the accent.
Royal Blue is paired with #604b3e in 4 real palettes, including Console Light and GitHub's brand system, as the lead colour.
Designers have shipped Sage Green with #604b3e: 7 real palettes, including Darkroom and Oatmeal, as the supporting colour.
Cream is the surface #604b3e wants: a warm off-white that shares its undertone, so #604b3e reads softer on it than on pure white.
